After the global launch of the Galaxy S10 on February 20, Samsung may bring the flagship lineup to India on March 6. The Galaxy S10e is said to be the cheapest of the three with a price tag of around Rs 50,000.
Samsung will announce its next big flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S10, at its Unpacked event in San Francisco on February 20. The Galaxy S10 series is expected to include a regular S10, S10+ and S10e. India is expected to be among the first markets to get the Galaxy S10, but there hasn't been any word on an exact date, until now. A new report suggests Samsung will bring the Galaxy S10 series to India on March 6.
The India launch date for the Galaxy S10 has been provided by 91Mobiles, citing a Samsung distributor. The report claims that Samsung will announce the flagship in the country in March. The company will make the announcement on March 6, possibly at an event, and the Galaxy S10 trio will go on sale starting March 15. Of course, one should take this report with a pinch of salt until Samsung officially confirms these dates.
All three Galaxy S10 models are expected to come to India. The S10e is tipped to be the cheapest of the lot. How cheap? Well, the report claims the S10e will launch in India at Rs 50,000. There is only one variant of the Galaxy S10e expected with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. The regular Galaxy S10 will reportedly get a starting price of Rs 65,000, while the S10+ is said to start at Rs 75,000. These prices do sound cheaper than their rumoured European pricing, and it should give the Galaxy S10 series a competitive edge in India. Again, it's best to take this information with some scepticism for now.
Additionally, the report also claims that Samsung will bring its rumoured 12GB RAM variant of the Galaxy S10+ to India. This is the highest model in the Galaxy S10 series that is also said to come with a whopping 1TB of internal storage with the possibility of expanding it to 1.5TB via a 512GB microSD card. This variant will reportedly fall under Rs 1,00,000 in India.
The Galaxy S10, S10+ and S10e are rumoured to come with the new Infinity-O punch-hole displays. This has been suggested repeatedly via leaked renders and live images. The S10 and S10+ will be coming with curved displays, and the Plus-sized model will get a wider display hole to house two selfie cameras. Moreover, the Galaxy S10 and S10+ are tipped to come with triple rear cameras, while the S10e will come with dual camera system on the back.
The Galaxy S10 series is expected to get the new Exynos 9820/ Snapdragon 855 chipset. The Exynos variant of the Galaxy S10 will be coming to India. The S10 and S10+ are also expected to come with an in-display fingerprint sensor, while the S10e will get the sensor embedded in the power button. All three Galaxy S10 phones can be expected with Android Pie-based One UI and 3.5mm headphone jack.
